<p>KDBX files created by KeePass 2.x and KDB files created by
KeePass 1.x are <i>not</i> compatible. KeePass 2.x supports
a lot of features, which 1.x doesn't support, therefore these formats
are incompatible.</p>

<p>But KeePass 2.x can import KDB files created by KeePass 1.x. For
this, you need first need to create a new database in KeePass 2.x
and import the 1.x database using <i>'File' -&gt; 'Import'</i>.</p>

<p>By <i>'File' -&gt; 'Export'</i>, KeePass 2.x can also export data to
1.x KDB files. However note that not all 2.x fields
are supported by 1.x (i.e. the export is lossy).</p>
